cancel the shipment of astra zeneca vaccines to the country is silly use the new export control mechanism to block the delivery after the company failed to meet its supply contract with the year our europe correspondent peter oliver has more details we're right at the center of this are $250000.00 doses of the astra zeneca job they were going to be transported from italy to australia as part of a contract astra zeneca has with the australian government italy put in place the export control mechanism that the e.u. brought in after astra zeneca failed to live up to its end of the contract it had with the european union now australia has asked the e.u. commission to review this decision but despite that the australian prime minister has said he'll understand where italy is coming from in italy people are dying a bit right of $300.00 have died and so i can certainly understand the high level
9:06 am
of anxiety that would be exist in italy and in many countries or across europe well one of the reasons that scott morrison could afford to be so understanding on that is that australia does have the solidities to produce its own vaccine in fact the deputy. the health minister of the state of victoria said it was lucky that they have that in light of these doses from the e.u. not looking like they're arriving in australia any time soon but while the australian side have been understanding there's been some concern expressed particularly by one german m.e.p. he says this sets a well known easy precedent pandora's box opened mystique if transparency mechanism leads defacto to an export ban unfortunately foreseeable under avoidable cops blanched for imitators could have fatal consequences on supply chains a global battle over coffee 19 vaccines escalation preprogrammed the rules as they
9:07 am
are at the moment in the e.u. allow member states to block the shipment of doses of vaccines from their territory if a manufacturer has not fulfilled the contracts that are being signed that was the case with astra zeneca and with italy france has said they completely side with italy in this and they french health minister said that if the shoe was on the other foot if it was france that was in this position they would have done exactly the same thing the french foreign ministry has gone even further they've said that a you member state should look inwards and focus on you member states getting vaccines and not what denmark and austria have been doing and looking abroad for cooperation all conviction remains very clear that the most effective solution to meet vaccination needs must continue to be based on the european framework well austria and denmark of both signed a deal to work with israel when it comes to the development of future vaccines the
9:08 am
austrian chanceless about stephen could said the reason that they've done this is in his eyes and from his experience of what's going on with the use one for all and all for one vaccine for cumin program is that it can't be the only thing. his citizens have to rely on these pandemic can only be overcome through global cooperation and if we also all agree did wix soon cease. to return to normality in the summer but we have to prepare already now for the next stages of the pandemic after the some experts say that in austria alone we will need about 30000000 doses in the next few years while looking to the future is also important for a number of of the e.u. nations that are either already in the grip of or preparing for a potential 3rd wave of covert 19 here in germany the main area of concern is
9:09 am
what's going on with the mutated variant of the virus and how they will be affected or affect how they will impact upon vaccines when it comes to vaccines and that vaccine are small though russia's sputnik v job is currently being reviewed by the european medicines agency and that could well be rolled out given the green light to be used across the very shortly peter oliver reporting there what has some of the reaction we've been getting on this story from our guests. so it's a country putting its interests ahead of others in the context of the pandemic and vaccines are clearly the only guy in charge of the research the implications i think our lists of before a country or a straw you then they would be for poor and around the world we know that as recently as a few weeks ago the vast majority of viable vaccine was in the athlon nations of the world or ny shoes were missing out than other countries that i think the most
9:10 am
risk in the next and she would say this is not not nationalism i mean that we have such as it in national country contract with us that of them they don't want or expect that this contract that we need last scenes we don't have in this moment so a lot of told people he need only are still die have or they have a lot of people are still taking the coronavirus because we don't have the best since so is normal that our government led by driving this side to stop the shipment of some buses that are produced immediately to our struggle at the country not in the european union. i must say with europe because a court in germany has temporarily blocked the intelligence service from monitoring the alternative for germany party pending the judge's final decision the largest opposition party in the german parliament they after a year earlier hit back at the proposed surveillance describing it as a purely political effort to undermine it ahead of the general election in
9:11 am
september. pseudosphere france the aim of the federal office for the protection of the constitution and counterterrorism is obviously in the short term to weaken us until the elections and in the long term to destroy the elderly opposition party in parliament that opposes the dissolution of the nation state and unlimited immigration from foreign cultures the federal intelligence service had intended to look into the a.f.d.c. the alleged ties to far right extremists as well as attempts to undermine germany's constitution some of the party's regional branches have reportedly been monitored for some time already so far the authorities have not commented on either the proposed surveillance of the party or the recent court ruling meanwhile hundreds of and to activists rallied against the a.f.d. party during a campaign event in the city of often back scuffles the police broke out there when protesters attempted to reach the stage where party officials were speaking we
9:12 am
heard from 2 members of the a.f.p. you told us the moves against them are purely political. they have a political mandate in order to get us rid of a competitor as a political competitor we have the strongest opposition party and what we have to do a solution is to criticize the government and that's what we do we do it respectively to the euro rescue parties huge favor that we do it with the migration policy which is very dangerous for us in germany and the population doesn't want it we do it in the energy crisis we will face so we actually have an opposition which really harms the government and that's why they want to get rid of us using this central intelligence civilians the very same day when the 1st of shots or domestic secret service got a court order not to call the 50 an extremist group of extras r.t. all those material was given. leftist papers which are very critical.
9:13 am
towards safety they got all the material while we are still in the dark and i mean if this is not a sign for clearly political move i don't know what such a move else could be called for more on this to head over. to a exclusive interview with senior i have to remember talks about what he calls the draining conflict with the establishment i'm already there you can check out a development to my guests and stories because e bay has now joined amazon and in removing the classic going to see children's books like the planes they are prices you can read about that and of the stories to adoptee dot com i'm going to take a quick break more stories and take. russia
9:14 am
e.u. relations right an impasse the kremlin has made it clear it will no longer tolerate the e.u. lecturing about values and so-called international norms and the russians are bad enough to be he used interference in russia's internal politics he refuses to treat russia as an equal partner until those changes despite a lot of relationship appears to be on hold. because amid metabolife small molecule there are bodies maker who met to make less of it as we get older this is one of the things i work on it's called an 80 and because we have less of it we become more prone to infection and the crazy thing is that current 19 the 3rd sars could be to one of its ways of attacking the body to deplete the body even more of that chemical which we need to fight infections.
9:15 am
welcome back less than 2 months in the white house and president biden is already facing a growing migrant crisis on the southern border in the attempt to reverse trump's remain in mexico policy he promised amnesty to millions of illegal migrants already living in the united states which according to one study though could lead to a dramatic increase in the country's foreign born population often it's more on the story. thousands are at the u.s. border wearing joe biden t. shirts begging the u.s. president to let them in they are among millions currently headed for the same border.
9:16 am
joe biden doesn't see a crisis brewing his whole plan to deal with the border issue boils down to hope and a prayer. yes i do legalize a lot. isn't ministration doesn't see a problem either just a challenge and they're ready to welcome more migrants to leave right prices at the border. the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing and we have our resources dedicated to to manage and we are not saying don't come we are saying don't come now because
9:17 am
we will be able to deliver safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible biden moved to undo the trumpet ministrations migration policies one of the 1st moves was to set up a juvenile detention facility but he insists this is not kids in cages it's prompted the migrant crisis spawns a lot of crime and just 3 days 1600 migrants were arrested with criminals reportedly among them and criminal organizations have certainly flourished among communities there are afraid to call the police out of fear of deportation there are people coming across a large number that are criminals a lot of people just looking for a better way of life. unfortunately it could create a situation where they may be vulnerable to criminal organizations trying to abuse them critics say the white house is just not being realistic about the potential dangers of its policy the green light is on now we're open for business again.
9:18 am
message should be sending to the traffickers who were smuggling these kids across the border show that trumps border wall remains very popular despite that congress is moving forward on what the democrats call sweeping immigration legislation presenting an 8 year path to citizenship for $11000000.00 people in the country without papers such an amnesty would be adding a new layer of u.s. citizenship roughly the size of california the hole in the process will allow people to come in without bias in order that. the jobs is going to be a major task to hand them and i think the government the u.s. government. and. all of these illegal immigration. a lot of them in deficits due to debt and then take a lot of business is going to close a 1000000 people out of war and illegal the crowds at the border are getting
9:19 am
larger and the country is becoming more polarized while trump may be gone the immigration debate is getting more intense it's becoming the most polarizing issue in a country that is already quite divided up and archie new york. the governor of texas is among nice he fired back. to his migration policy. the biden ministration was releasing illegal immigrants legal immigrants into our communities who had cove it that is me and a thought type approach to dealing with the cobra situation where texans also hit back at president biden after he criticized the governor's decision to relax rules on the wearing of masks. in the last the last thing before thank you very. much for taking. it still definitely should not be saying those kind of things that's very insulting oh he. criticized everybody else and.
9:20 am
the democrats and they drove my hair in their boots on the on the mix of the people in this country telling them what to do oh i don't think there's anything accounts for the name calling and i don't think you should be calling us neanderthals wants to talk about you need with the most basic 1st thing i think you cannot call people names you just have to respect well the use of the word neanderthal is a yes even attracted criticism all the way from germany a museum that felt the need to stick up the ancient humans and tweet to joe biden to save the species was smarter than you might think and i want to more serious note texas is still registering over 7 and a half 1000 new coronavirus cases a day although there's been a decline in infections and deaths in recent weeks at almost 45000 it has the 3rd highest death toll in the us after california and new york but despite the
9:21 am
figures texans do support the decision to relax restrictions tired of not being able to go and do things we wanted to do we're glad to get our masks rocker and go live life again that's how i feel about it i think it's time to open up to open up the restaurants and everybody go different places and forget today i'm going to. my character of language for the 1st time an easier opening of the business is great if you have to go out your risk anyway so why not just get it over with and get back to normal i think it's a good thing to get the economy back making sure we don't have any problems with. our work with the public so i don't have any problem with the. politics. while the texas governor justified the decision citing economic reasons and the start of vaccinations in the state it was said to cope with hospitalizations were
9:22 am
at their lowest since october but critics of the move to believe the state should be pain a la used to vaccine supplies halted. texas we hear you you didn't want to be part of our electrical grid and now you've removed your mosque mandate and there are large crowds together we hear you code it is a hoax so you don't need our precious vaccine we'll send it to people who are saving lives by wearing mosques why are we wasting vaccinations on texas if texas has decided to join the side of the virus. we spoke to way out in room to form into tarion fice presidential nominee about the situation texas has this image of avarice and rebels and conservatives that have voted it big for donald trump and it's the symbol that democrats and liberals and communists and socialists in america ates and so they're using texas as the whipping boy texas is a symbol of freedom and if it ever comes to it if there's ever a division of our country there's a session or what i like to call
9:23 am
a divorce you go our way we go our way everyone separates text this would be the leading state that would say look we're not going to follow biden's rules anymore because this is start to be ridiculous and so i think they've always aimed their guns at census because it represents freedom and it steers the big government big brother bureaucrats it's ridiculous overreaction makes no sense of course there are cases of course people get the infection it's highly contagious nobody could say oh i have the key to what i would never get sick you have to weigh risk versus reward let everyone live their lives who's under the age of 75 and be very careful and spend a lot of money protecting the people who are over 75. now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill aimed at tackling police brutality is named after george floyd the man who was choked to death by a police officer in minneapolis last year but the move has been criticized by some
9:24 am
of his national police association member steve pumpa. and when they pass a bill like this and name it after somebody who's actually a convicted felon and was allegedly committing a crime at the time. i think that the good probably look for actual real victims and not somebody like that who would want to be a police officer if they knew that somebody who's just decided afterwards that something that you were taught. is illegal because it didn't look good on t.v. and you're being sued personally or you being prosecuted personally for something that either was a mistake or somebody deemed to be a wrong technique but only after you've been done even though it was a way to train because somebody who is anti police doesn't agree with the outcome of the courts or the disciplinary system it doesn't mean it was wrong it just means that they don't agree with it and says a lot of these folks just some of this rule for bullies it's not that hard to
9:25 am
understand that they don't agree with the decisions. the us record spike in the 2020 with homicide rates rising by 20 percent that i just increase was in new york with 40 percent and chicago with the 7 percent but he's offices across america left the full in the wake of the protests sponsored by phillips death with some citing concerns for better and safety but despite criticism of police tactics the pump it does say that lethal force will always be a last resort to such as are human beings we deal with human beings all the time the last thing we want to do is take another human being's life and fur somebody to be so frivolous as to say that or imply that we don't use deadly force as a last resort is an insult but beyond that officers have always used deadly force as a last resort and especially when you have to go by the individual's perception that person is in the situation dealing with that person that's presumably
9:26 am
a threat to their lives and they have to deal with that you know to to keep themselves safe. keep themselves alive so i think that that's just an insult to say that police officers don't already use deadly force as a last resort the officer from those criticisms i can come down on split 2nd decisions that later on you may be able to say oh why didn't the officer do this why didn't the officer do that but when you're dealing with split seconds you have to be able to to act like that and they can't have officers then later on being pulled up on charges. which is not international thanks for your company this afternoon that's how the news is looking we'll be back as always at the top of the next. was a pandemic no certainly no borders that is blocking 2 nationalities. has
9:27 am
emerged we told the truth be we took a back seat the whole world needs to be. judged 2 as comedy crisis so it is a dissident and want to say we can do better we should know better. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together . seems wrong. just don't. get to see
9:28 am
palin these days get educated and in detroit equals betrayal. once all the many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . and. go into so if you go visionaries nice if you share it's it going to be tina's in many ways changed to way we view our health and to talk about this i'm joined by david sinclair a professional genetics and co-director of
9:29 am
a call as claimed center for biology of aging at howard medical school. david sinclair professor of genetics and co-director of the poll ask glenn center for the biology of aging at harvard medical school great to have you with us one more time maybe not been wanting to talk to you. always but especially iris and colleague outbreak look ringback the president of aging has been the focus of your work for a long time and as does condemn it showed old age dramatically increases washington says today i've copied do you have an explanation why theory why does this virus target people of old age disproportionately. well you have to there are a number of theories one of them is that our immune system overreacts as we get older. we have a lot more what's called in-flow maging inflammation generally in our body.
9:30 am
we have just processes that are metabolic and metabolic changes during the body can make immune cells go crazy and one of the leading theories actually is that there's a myth metabolite a small molecule that our bodies make of and we met to make less of it as we get older this is one of the things i work on it's called an 80 and because we have less of it we become more prone to infection and the crazy thing is that code 1000 the sars kovi to one of its ways of attacking the body is to deplete the body even more of that chemical which we need to fight infections and that may be one of the reasons why older people just cannot get rid of the virus quickly and many of them will succumb.
